Ghostwalker Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 a Decision has been taken to lock Elitserien from the 2011 season. This means that no team longer will be moved up or down between Allsvenskan and Elitserien. This should mean that if there are 10 team in Elitserien next year all Allsvenskan teams wont have any thing to ride for. They can sign riders to win Allsvenskan but for what reason? IMO this is not what Swedish speedway needs. Allsvenskan now becomes more or less useless as i think that most teams in Allsvenskan aims for Elitserien. What will happen with them? Another problem will be if 6 teams already have qualified for the playoff with 3-4 rounds to go and with no team facing the risk of being demoted the final league meetings will loose all importance and there will no longer be any drama regarding the last place. I also wonder what will happened with the team that will be demoted in 2010 they no longer will have a chance to get back quickly. IMO it feels like they just testing stuff without having much thought about it. http://www.nt.se/sport/artikel.aspx?articleid=5433596 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Tonights meetings in Division 1: Team Bikab - Indianerna Ungdom Team Bikab Team Manager: Robin Johansson 1. Robert Henderson © 2. Göran Flood 3. Daniel Henderson 4. Henrik Karlsson 5. Robin Bergqvist 6. Rasmus Eklöf 7. Jimmy Jansson Indianerna Ungdom Team Manager: Rholand Jensen 1. Niklas Eriksson 2. Alexander Edberg 3. Magnus Zetterström 4. Daniel Ahlin 5. David Rohlén © 6. Freddy Godlund 7. Marcus Johansson Links to lineups for the other three meetings: Gnistorna-FilbyternaStjärnorna - EldarnaGasarna-Crossbone Pirates there is also one meeting in Allsvenskan tonight: Solkatterna-Getingarna There is a bit of a contest/challenge going in between few of the teams in Div1 regarding spectator record. two weeks ago Team Bikab took the lead with an impressive 577, last week Gnistorna overtook Team Bikab by having 594 specators. Now Gasarna have arranged so that they can have a free entrance tonight to attract more people. Both Team Bikab and Gnistorna also have home meetings tonight. In the meeting between Team Bikab and Indianerna Ungdom, Zorro will ride for the Indians. The weather is warm and sunny so hopefully there will be record crowds at all four arenas tonight. All meetings can be followed live at http://www.speedway.nu (click on the meetings under "right now") from 19:00 Swedish time / 18:00 British Time..

iris123 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) An interview with THJ in which he states his disappointment with not getting the Malilla wildcard after his performances in the U21 and senior Swedish championships.Svemo not liking the fact he didn't travel to Latvia for the GP quali and his hope of getting a permanent WC for next seasons GP's THJ in his own words......german though!

Ghostwalker Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) well if you look at it THJ shouldn't be near any GP WC ...yet. sure he rode well in the Swedish Championship but if you look at his league scores he haven't had a good year (understandably with the death of his father) this year. I'd rather give the WC to someone that can do a decent score. Then you could question if Antonio should have it twice the same season or if someone else should have it like JD although he have been inconsistent (as usual). Like with Tai, THJ's time will come and i dont doubt that he will have earned himself a WC within a year or two. Anyway a fantastic spectator size at the meeting between Team Bikab and Indianerna Ungdom. 789 watched Team Bikab win the Division 1 meeting with 52-44. it is one of the highest spector siszes ever in Div1. The two with the most spectators that i have found are: Bysarna vs. Team Canvac 2 years ago attracted 912 people Team Bikab vs. Filbyterna last year attracted 2008 poeple. Best rider score was Zorro (Indianerna Ungdom) with 12p from 5 rides (3,X,3,3.3). Zorro was excluded from his 2nd heat because the chain cover fell off just a few seconds before the start of the heat.

Anders Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Having the best non-GP rider from the Swedish Championship as a Wild Card would have given that meeting some extra interest, but it's obvious the men in charge wouldn't want to risk an inclusion of an older rider such as PK, Max or Zorro. After THJ's withdrawal from the GP qualifier in Daugavpils, I'm sure he was out of the race for a Wild Card as well. No surprise it went to a "team" including Antonio Lindbäck and Tony Rickardsson. Lindbäck has the highest capacity of the non-GP riders in Sweden, but I don't think he should've had both Wild Cards in a season. BTW, I won't be going to Målilla for the Grand Prix. And yes, the harvest for sour grapes near my home is going very well, before someone else points it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 THJ should have been in the world cup IMO. no way! we rode with the 5 best and i doubt THJ would have done better then any of the other. It had been different if Zorro or Max had been picked over THJ. In this case though all 5 riders are still quite young so. Why should THJ be given a special treatment over the others? Why should THJ have got picked instead of any of the others? Ruud have average of 8,18p/meeting Antonio have an average of 9,6/meeting JD have an average of 8,41p/meeting If you look at his score he have scored an avergae of 3,8p/meeting so he need to improve his score before he could expect a SWC spot or a GP WC. Nermark is a pretty good rider too but had been injured just before SWC and hadn't ridden anything for several weeks before the SWC so there is no point in picking someone that is or just has been injured.

Anders Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 we rode with the 5 best and i doubt THJ would have done better then any of the other. Even I am agreeing with that statement. The top 5 Swedes rode in the WTC team, well, at least the top 5 available riders (as PK had turned it down). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Forget the SWC,but the question should be asked.....Is Lindbäck that good this season that he deserves 2 GP wildcards? For me it is a no-brainer.No he isn't.So why not give someone else a chance?I wouldn't say THJ is the obvious choice,but if you are building for the future and given his good performances in what are very hard and pressurised meetings why not?I have my doubts that Antonio will ever be the rider he should be or even was,sadly.

Ghostwalker Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 well Iris123 there aren't really many others to choose from but Perhaps JD could have been picked. i still prefer Anto9 then THJ though. I'm pretty sure THJ will get his chances too within a year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Any reason why Nermark didn't ride for Solkatterna? he havent been paid by Solkatterna for about 3 meetings so Daniel will refuse to ride until he have been paid for those. i think Piraterna owes him money too but i am not sure.

Ghostwalker Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 at least some good news regarding teams in Sweden. Former SPeedway team Nässjö have decided to re-start their speedway team. They have a vision to be in allsvenskan within 4 years. They will refurbish their arena which will cost some 100'000 (~£8400GBP) + airfence i would believe. http://www.hogland.nu/?option=com_content&...30&Itemid=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
